NOTE:
Alcohol or methanol base coolant or plain water alone should not be used in cooling system at any
time as damage to cooling system could occur.
Even in a market where no freezing temperature is anticipated, mixture of 70% water and 30% ethyl-
ene glycol antifreeze (Antifreeze/Anticorrosion coolant) should be used for the purpose of corro-
sion protection and lubrication.
“Hard water”, if used, will foul up the cooling circuit by scale formation. Tap water available from
city water supply is the best available water, in a practical sense, for the cooling system. Distilled
water is ideal but is a luxury in most cases.

14) Install strut tower bar (1) and tighten bolts.
15) Refill cooling system.
16) Connect negative (–) cable at battery.
17) Adjust accelerator cable and A/T throttle cable, refer to
“ACCELERATOR CABLE ADJUSTMENT” and “A/T THROT-
TLE CABLE ADJUSTMENT” in this section.
Idle air control valve (IAC valve)
REMOVAL
1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Disconnect IAC valve connector.
3) Remove IAC valve (1) from throttle body.
INSPECTION
1) Disconnect connector from IAC valve.
2) Check each coil of IAC valve for resistance.
If resistances is out of specification, replace.
IAC valve resistance:
Terminals Resistance
Between “1” and “2”
25.5 - 33.5 Ω
ΩΩ Ω Between “3” and “2”
Between “4” and “5”
Between “6” and “5”

3) Remove air cleaner outlet hose and remove IAC valve from
throttle body.
4) Connect connector to IAC valve.
5) Check that plunger (1) of IAC valve moves once and then
stops as soon as ignition switch (2) is turned OFF after
cranking engine for 2 sec.
If plunger (1) of IAC valve does not operate at all, check wire
harnesses for open and short. If wire harnesses are in good
condition, replace IAC valve and recheck.
INSTALLATION
1) Install new O-ring to throttle body.
2) Install IAC valve to throttle body.
3) Tighten IAC valve screws to specified torque.
Tightening torque
IAC valve screw (a) : 3.5N·m (0.35 kg-m, 2.5 lb-ft)
4) Connect IAC valve connector securely.
5) Connect negative (–) cable to battery.
Fast idle air valve
1) Disconnect IAC valve coupler with ignition switch OFF.
2) Check that with cold engine started, as cooling water tem-
perature rises, engine idle speed reduces gradually.
If check result is as described above, fast idle air valve is in
good condition.
If not, fast idle air valve, air passage or coolant passage is
faulty. NOTE:
This check should be performed by two people, one per-
son operates ignition switch while the other checks
plunger operation.

6E2-36 ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (SEQUENTIAL MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION FOR H27 ENGINE)
Engine coolant temperature sensor (ECT sensor)
REMOVAL
1) Disconnect negative (–) cable from battery.
2) Drain cooling system.
3) Disconnect coupler from ECT sensor (1).
4) Remove ECT sensor from water outlet cap (2).
INSPECTION
Immerse temperature sensing part of ECT sensor in water and
measure resistance between sensor terminals while heating
water gradually.
If measured resistance doesn’t shown such characteristic as
shown in the figure, replace ECT sensor.
INSTALLATION
Reverse removal procedure noting the followings.
•Clean mating surfaces of sensor and water outlet cap (1).
•Use new O-ring.
•Tighten ECT sensor to specified torque.
Tightening torque
ECT sensor (a) : 15 N·m (1.5 kg-m, 11.0 lb-ft)
•Connect coupler to sensor securely.
•Refill cooling system.
